Police figures
The statistics are based on accidents reported to the police. Less severe accidents and injuries are therefore under-represented in the figures. In addition, the total number of injuries includes casualties where the degree of injury has not been specified. Future figures may prove that there was no injury.
The figures for January 2006 that are used for comparative purposes in this text are preliminary.
